>>50669014They have been called POCKET monsters since forever you retard, if they only became pocket sized thanks to a man made device they would have been called something else, and the balls could store even human beings.
Also
>minimize copeShrink has been described as an instinct twice, it's not something they can do at will just like that, of course only some pokemon can learn to minimize whenever they want.
>only seem to shrink when Pokeballs are involvedAnd when they faint or when they simply leave. Even in games with overworld encounters they pop in and out of grass because they CANONICALLY hide there, even the massive ones.
>itemsPokemon hold items already, since gen 1 actually (Hypno, Kadabra, Alakazam..), this cope goes with the "how do they shrink duh" one
>none this will ever be explained in game for over 25 years... except for that time it was explained 10 years ago, but it doesn't count okay?Just learn to cope quietly.
>he was talking about LaventonThat's even worse because it makes you even more ignorant. Laventon knows more than you about pokemon and the shrink phenomenon was in Platinum, 12 years ago.
You lost. Now kill yourself you pathetic denialfag.
